Terrorists are in no way to be considered "special operations forces!" They're armed bozos willing to die just so they can execute Jihad for a murdering pedophile that lived and died 1500 years ago. Jeeze have you ever seen the AQ "training videos?" A group of tango's run room to room in a deserted building somewhere in the middle of nowhere west Pakistan and toss grenades before entering to spray rooms with AK47s on full auto. No coordination, no fluidity, no cover or concealment. Let's just run around and slaughter the sheep! Got news, my IDPA club could smoke 'em!
This is a run up, this change in tactic away from suicide vests to firearms and grenades. This one is coming SOON to a crowded shopping mall near you. The tango that was captured (too chicken to OFF himself before capture like a good little Jihadi) said that the goal was to kill 5000. Easily accomplished in a multi-pronged attack on several packed malls around the country in certain target areas where there already exist sleeper cells. I'll bet this one has been planned since the 2004 election. My guess is that sometime in the next 25 days we're gonna get hit. In exactly this fashion.
Likely results? Well if the terrorists use assault rifles and hand grenades, you'll see the new President take his hand off the Bible or Quiran and sign already passed legislation that will not only ban but confiscate so called Assault Weapons lawfully owned by a lot of Americans. He'll have a mandate and it will take a lot of pressure off him to act in a positive manner on the economy. That operation will allow him to soften the focus on a lot of campaign promises. The eyes of the populace will be focused on those nutty gun owners. I promise you, he'll have 95% of his liberal base and a whole lot of independents (fiscal conservatives, social liberals) standing to back his play.
The wild card? Armed citizens ready to act like the SHEEPDOGS they are. We can dissipate the effects by standing ready to act when the first ALLAH HU AKBAR splits the air and the gunfire follows. The OBAMANATION will have to pause just a little bit if an attack is even partially stymied by armed sheepdogs ready to meet the threat.
Good points.....valid points. This murdering trash was far from a trained paramilitary unit. They were a gang of idiots in a sheep pen as ya suggest !
Here is a PDF version of the Grossman Book excerpt that I have “among others” for free download on my FR homepage.

They were well trained compared to the Indian Police. They were not comparable to US Special Operators, but few are. They also outgunned the Indian Police. It wasn’t until the Army and Commandos showed up that the tide turned. As for the rest of your post, I couldn’t agree more.
